The track is from the duo’s excellent new EP Senses
Since forming during the pandemic, independent queer duo and couple Outer Shapes have been establishing themselves as a distinctive and exciting presence in the NYC music scene, boasting a sound that feels melodic but with a really distinctive and unique allure, packed full of boundless creativity and guile. Their debut EP Senses is packed full of highlights and moments that demonstrate that appeal, providing a fully fleshed out and realised showcase of their sound.
